On Sunday, I am supposed to fly from Seattle to Los Angeles (for more Improv classes!). On Friday, they're going to announce that 10% of flights have been cancelled. There is a 10% chance that I end up taking the train. Kind of hoping I do!

I am told that tonight is the "full Beaver moon". I believe that was also very popular in Hustler magazine back in the 70's.

I am about to be playing D&D live! This is part 2 of a heist adventure called "Shard of the Accursed" and will start out with me making a big, wild play in an attempt to bail us out of the big, wild play made by @jamesthomson.bsky.social at the end of the last ep. www.youtube.com/watch?v=N7pP...

I'd never seen it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWcA...

According to at least one brand in my e-mail box, Black Friday now means all of November.

New Game Show! We were tasked with selecting the vampire that is Greatest Of All Time (I avoid the phrase “GOAT vampire” because that’s just a chupacabra) www.theincomparable.com/gameshow/268/

Our three-part D&D heist reaches its thrilling conclusion! I remember zero details! www.theincomparable.com/tpk/525/

I’m sad that the Mariners aren’t here, but on the other hand I am now free to root for Ohtani with a clear conscience.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show is a movie I have “seen” over two hundred times in theaters, although after a while you stop paying attention to the actual movie. Point is, I was on a podcast about it and here it is!

Maybe the lesson is just that you shouldn't keep your most valuable and dismantle-able pieces close to the windows?

Our D&D heist continues! There are many named horses in this episode! I’m pretty sure! It has been a while since we recorded it! www.theincomparable.com/tpk/524/

The Hudson Hawk redemption begins now! NYT picks it as one of its six heist movies to watch. (I did a podcast a decade ago about why it's criminally underrated: www.theincomparable.com/ump/11/) www.nytimes.com/2025/10/20/m...

Speaking of the Death of the Internet, has anyone else noticed how many of Wikipedia’s reference links are dead?

In the movie Purple Rain, Prince’s lowest point comes during the song “Darling Nikki,” when we are told and shown that the audience hates it. In the family-friendly network TV cut, all the dirty parts of songs are covered up with the sound of applause, so it sounds like everyone is VERY into it.

Timtin and Pocky are two fun things that are too much fun to pronounce the way they’re supposed to be.

Hey, I’m gonna start flagging my podcast appearances. Partly for self-promotion, but mostly to remind myself that I actually do stuff. I played K’ronng, a bugbear rogue, in this heist adventure. We pretend to be fashion designers.

Tintin is as action-packed as I had been told it was.

Batman: I am dressed like a bat because criminals are a cowardly and superstitious lot. Every goon in a Batman game: Hey! It’s the Bat! I’m gonna run directly at him!

When someone says their new book a available “wherever books are sold,” it sounds like they have no idea where that might be.

Bring back the Cut Direct.

Before the finale of Bon Appetit, Your Majesty (it's charming!) we are watching an episode of old school Iron Chef. As always, I am impressed by the English dub actors. They don't know what that stuff tastes like!

McDonald’s is now openly lying on their menu boards. The meat in a Double Quarter Pounder has never been, and will never be, this thick.

I cannot help but notice that living in a digital panopticon where my every move is studied and analyzed has not resulted in my recommendations improving in any way.

Show Pitch: THE COURT OF LAW, in which Law Roach judges people. Not just on fashion, either. He’s going to go through people’s phones and criticize their texts. He’s going to critique lunch choices. Like Review, everything’s on the table.

So when's Seth Green's NFT show coming out?

All anime closing credits songs sound the same to me, regardless of the genre of show or decade it was released in.

(Looks around, sees that everyone is distracted) Okay. I watched the first episode of Andor when it came out. It did not compel me to watch the second episode. Everyone in the world went crazy for the series, but I was already largely tired of Star Wars. So I left it there.

If a store has a bunch of stuff under lock and key so you need to wait ten minutes for someone to come get it for you, that aisle should also have a bunch of impulse-buy stuff. Or toys for us to play with while we wait, like a pediatrician's waiting room.

Using one photo already on your phone, what is the announcement tomorrow at 2?

Saw and enjoyed the new Red Sonja movie. It is a perfectly acceptable fantasy sword movie that I probably would have loved if it had come out in the 1980s. Klaus from Umbrella Academy makes some fun choices as the evil emperor.

I got a headache so bad it’s causing tinnitus.

Just realized that I can probably watch any of the old terrible videos they used to advertise on late night television. Dorf on Golf? The Best of Victor Borge? It's all right here at my fingertips! I guess I could even reconstruct Freedom Rock in Spotify or something www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zjg...

Instead of "wherever you get your podcasts," consider: "is a podcast."

It is broad daylight. The neighbors have started the fireworking anyway.

After seeing dozens of tents claiming to be Discount Fireworks Stores, I start to wonder who are the chumps out there paying full price for fireworks. I wouldn’t even know where to shop.

If you are into old, weird pop culture cookie jars OR the WB Studio Stores from the 1990s, may I recommend Timeless Treasures in Eagle Point, Oregon? They have a ton of other stuff; this is just what fascinated me. First, a smattering of WB stuff. (1/2)

Black Dynamite was not on their list, which meant that I didn’t have to make a tough decision. Order is not relevant.

I have just learned that (nearly) the entire Billboard archive is online: www.worldradiohistory.com/Archive-All-... Also, I have learned that, at least in 1947, they used a hilarious argot, like in Variety.

“Your movie continues uninterrupted after this break” my eye, you need to stop using the word “uninterrupted” immediately. I understand the need for ads, but can the gaslighting, mister.

“I never heard all the screams No, I never saw the blood and dirt and gore Yeah, that wasn't part of the dream Of maps and generals and uniforms I'd always liked the big parade I always wanted to be adored” -“(I Never Loved) Eva Braun” by The Boomtown Rats

Today is not only #WorldDraculaDay celebrating the publication of Stoker’s classic in 1897, it is also the birthday of #PeterCushing who entered the world a mere 16 years later in 1913. I shall definitely be giving #Dracula (1958) a rewatch today 🧛‍♂️🩸 #Gothic #HorrorSky

Intermission at a breakdance competition (Massive Monkees Day) means it’s time for the audience to dance.

I am rereading Norman Spinrad's Little Heroes (1987). I remembered it being about AI and rock and roll and essentially VTubers. I did not expect it to predict modern production methods down to specifically Autotune.

These Peanuts strips from 1958 are what I think of every time there's a new commercial buzzword. How CAN a jump rope be AI?

I feel like Jennifer Coolidge’s past life as Stifler’s Mom has been memory-holed.

Looking forward to the twenty-minute scene where they justify a biplane showing up in a Mission: Impossible movie.

Implement a 100% tariff and ruin a movie THX 2276

Movie projectionist was the coolest job, and now it's almost gone.

Movie you’ve watched more than six times using gifs. (“Hard mode” no Star Wars, Star Trek, or LOTR)

This ad just promised to remove “up to 100% of stuck-on food.” I like that claim because it technically promises nothing.
